Ichi, a grumbly green grocer who loves vegetables, not people, picks up Toma-chan at the vegetable market where he had been discarded. Toma-chan is a small, green tomato whose dearest wish is to ripen into a lovely red fruit and be sold at a good price to a customer. Will Ichi be able to help him, uh, mature?

I stumbled to this story while reading Hara Peko Mitsuba Chinko (that one is about a flower fairy). I don't really care for shota, but I think of this a less shota and more "this kid isn't even supposed to be a kid". He's having sex with the personification of a tomato this premise is too funny to ignore. The premise is odd, but the execution is cute and the art is nice too. Somehow though this story leaves you with more questions, like will the " tomato" grow older or "die"? Is it really a tomato? Did that old man's d*ck really turn into a banana?

woaaa i never rode such a crap in my whole life. This is just crap. I can´t say anything else but maybe there a people who find this funny. Well.....i don´t. I only rode it because I love the mangakas work but this.............. xD

you've got to be kidding me. why is there no category for "pure crack"? i don't even know what to write here. it's CJ michalski-style crack, and it's a little funny, and very cutesy. i really would prefer a total lack of smexing with this sort of thing, but unfortunately there is smex. the thing i like about michalski-san is that i think she really wants to write more complex stories with all sorts of different characters. the ones that are artistically most developed are often her nasty guys; she draws a way more interesting bad guy than good guy. which is kinda fascinating -- i wish she'd write them though instead of just hinting at them.
